It's kinda datardly. GNOME wants to help us. It's not that we wouldn't put a lot of effort into making GIMP work well on a GNOME desktop. Adhering to FreeDesktop standards is one of our goals and we are even working towards full GNOME HIG compliance. The only things we really want to avoid is to be forced to do any of this. Since we aren't a GNOME application, noone can force us into anything and that's a good thing. It's just a matter of time before libgnome and libgnomeui will be completely obsoleted and all this functionality be in GTK+. At that time The GIMP will probably look and feel like any other GNOME application. Sven PS: See http://sven.gimp.org/gimp-new-image-dialog.png for an almost HIG compliant file-new dialog. This is a screenshot from the HEAD branch.
